Should "blasts Nokia and Android fragmentation" be "blasting Nokia and Android into fragmentation"?

Thus Ori, No. It would appear by "fragmentation" Apple includes loss of innovation

No. Apple isn't the cause for Nokia's and Androids fragmentation. That is what the second option of "blasting Nokia and Android into fragmentation" claims.

Nokia and Android are responsible for creating fragmentation of their own smartphone market when they sell far more variations of their own cell phone and operating system then Apple currently has with its iPhone.

The first option is correct. It means that Apple is currently publicly criticizing Nokia and Android for their respective confusing line of phones.

Well guys, thank you for replying.

But what I wanted to know is a grammatical error: Don't you see the sentence "Apple goes on the offensive, blasts Nokia and Android fragmentation" is run-on?

But what does "fragmentation" exactly mean here?

Yes, it's a run on sentence. You are just going to have to be more forgiving of headlines. They don't follow normal rules, and they aren't going to start any time soon.

Thank you Roger.

What does "fragmentation" exactly mean here?

I've no idea. Fragmentation appears in the headline, and lack of innovation seems to be the subject of the article.

I already mentioned what "fragmentation" means.

Android is a phone operating system provided by Google. Several companies manufacture different kinds of phones that run Android. The problem is that each phone manufacturer customizes their version of Android OS to suit there purposes.

To a regular consumer, any given version of Android say version X will look different on each manufacturer's phone so to the customer's eye, each Android phone looks like it has a completely different OS. The wide array of different user experiences between one phone to the next is described as fragmentation.

Excellent!
Thanks.

Quite welcome Ori

No, sorry Ori, not a bit
